Ah yes, girdles, the 50's version of a chastity belt! I'm betting that they (girdles) will not make headway against the thong. Sensible hats (w/ veils), white gloves, pearls, OK but "girdles"? why not a "burqa".

Today, girdles are called “shapewear.” I refuse to do such a thing, myself. I’ve had ten children, and if you’re distressed by the way I look, that’s your problem.
(That’s a general you, not you personally. I wish we had a singular and plural “you” available, like other languages do ... other than “you,” “y’all,” and “all y’all,” which one has to explain to the non-Southron.)
